Product Description
Toluene is a clear, colourless liquid with a distinctive smell, commonly used as an industrial solvent. Also known as toluol, it is a solvent and paint thinner with numerous uses in the chemical and manufacturing industries. Known for its effectiveness, toluene solvent is widely utilized in paint thinners, adhesives, and chemical reactions. As a toluene paint thinner, it helps achieve smooth, even finishes by dissolving paint and varnish. Its versatility extends to the production of disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals.
The grade we supply has a minimum purity of 99.5% and a maximum of 0.2% non-aromatics. Used as a paint thinner solvent in the paint and coatings industry, it serves as a solvent in paints, lacquers, and adhesives. It is also used to create thinners for these types of coatings. Toluene can also be used to produce products like dyes and cosmetic nail coatings. As a common solvent in nail polish and other cosmetic products, it helps achieve the desired consistency and drying properties. It also has many other niche uses throughout various industries.
Also has uses in the manufacturing of organic chemicals such as benzene and urethane raw materials.

Q1: What is CarboSolv Toluene and what is it used for?
A: CarboSolv Toluene is a high-purity solvent used widely in the paint & coatings, adhesives, chemical, and manufacturing industries. It acts as a paint thinner / solvent, helping to dissolve resins, reduce viscosity, and aid in achieving smooth finishes. It is also used in the production of chemicals, adhesives, and varnishes.
Q2: In what situations should I use CarboSolv Toluene?
A: Use CarboSolv Toluene when you need a strong, efficient solvent for:
Thinning or adjusting the viscosity of coatings and paints
Cleaning tools, equipment, or spray systems (if compatible)
Degreasing metal or surface prep (depending on substrate compatibility)
Certain industrial chemical processes
Q3: How much CarboSolv Toluene should I add, and how long does it take to evaporate?
A: The dilution ratio depends on the paint or resin system you’re working with; always refer to the technical data sheet of the coating you’re using. Because toluene is fairly volatile, it tends to evaporate relatively quickly under good ventilation and moderate temperature. Make sure to test a small batch first and ensure adequate drying / cure times.
Q4: Is CarboSolv Toluene hazardous? What safety precautions should I take?
A: Yes — toluene is a regulated solvent and should be handled with care. Key precautions:
Use in a well-ventilated area or under local exhaust ventilation
Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, respirator if required)
Avoid inhalation of fumes or skin contact
Keep away from ignition sources; it is flammable
Store in approved containers and dispose of waste or rags safely
Q5: What sizes are available, and can I return tinted or mixed solvents?
A: CarboSolv Toluene is offered in several sizes (1 L, 2.5 L, 5 L, 25 L) to suit different project scales.
